From the tone of Spotify’s press releases, it’s pretty clear they see podcasts and similar stuff as a major area for growth so expect to see more. But hey, at least podcasts are awesome and having all your audio listening in a single app doesn’t sound like a terrible experience.

Song Sharing to Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories are continuing to take over the world—my Snapchat is now just a depressing wasteland—and one new feature they’ve added is the ability to share Spotify tracks directly to your Instagram Stories so your friends can see what you’re listening to and play it themselves.

To share a song to your Instagram Story, select it in Spotify and go to Share > Instagram Stories. Post it as usual, and your friends will be able to open it directly when they view it.

Spotify has been such an excellent service for so long that it’s easy to miss new features they add. Personally, I’m digging the podcast integration.
